OYSTER AND FRUIT PACKERS.

One hundred and twenty firms are thus en-
gaged-fruits and vegetables, fish and oysters,
in their different stages, employing over 10000
persons in procuring alone; as many more in the
final processes of preparing for market. One
branch promotes the other. Three-fourth of the
tin plate imported is tins consumed, and every
vessel bound on long cruise thus replenishes it
stores. The shipments of oysters, by car loads,
to the West are made daily, and the interest is of
the utmost Importance in all respects. The
wages alone amount annually to $4,000, goo.
The product would equal 100000.
